Knut, Cute Little Polar Bear













Berlin Zoo is delighted at the birth of Knut, the first polar bear to be born in the animal park in over 30 years. The cub spent his first 44 days in an incubator after being rejected by his mother. Now he's being raised on a bottle.

The polar bears in Berlin Zoo may be having trouble getting to sleep as unseasonably warm weather interferes with their hibernation schedule, but one little bear is just happy to be alive.
Knut was born on Dec. 5, 2006, the first polar bear cub to be born in Berlin Zoo in 30 years, but was rejected by his mother, the 20-year-old polar bear Tosca. His twin brother died four days after the birth.

Little Knut spent the first 44 days of his life in an incubator. Thanks to the loving care of the zoo staff, he prospered and now has "a good chance of survival," according to his keeper Thomas Dörflein. The dedicated Dörflein has slept in the zoo since the birth of the bear in order to provide round-the-clock care to the cub, and feeds Knut milk six times a day with a bottle.
Knut weighed only 810 grams (1.8 pounds) when he was born but now tips the scales at 3.9 kilograms (8.6 pounds). He still has a long way to go though -- adult male polar bears can weigh up to 800 kilograms.

Eager zoo visitors will have to wait to see the zoo's newest addition, however. The stress of being shown to the public would be too much for the little polar bear at the moment, a zoo spokeswoman said.

And here is a video of this cute little thing:



This is the first polar bear which was born in Berlin Zoo after 30 years!
Knut is a twin, but his brother died 4 days after birth.

Elephant Birth In The Wild


This amazing video is filmed by Deborah and Jonathan Smith. I'll quote here their words:
"We filmed the video when we were on honeymoon at Ulusaba private game reserve in the Kruger national park in South Africa on 11th February 2006.


It's very rare for humans to see an elephant birth in the wild - they will normally do this out of sight. We searched the net and found a researcher spent many months following a herd of elephant in a reserve north of Ulusaba and saw a birth through night vision goggles from a distance of many hundreds of yards. This elephant herd didn't seem to mind us being just a few feet away in our Land Rover. We thought we would share this amazing experience with all of you.

Baby elephants stay in the womb for around 22 months and are quite large when they are born. They are able to walk within an hour from birth - necessary with so many predators in the bush. We didn't capture his first steps as the elephants started getting agitated and we felt they didn't want us there any more; but we did go back in the morning and see him trotting behind his mother.
The whole sequence actually took a bit more than half an hour from the herd greeting to a new baby elephant arriving in the world. These are just the edited highlights of the amazing experience we had."

Customized Cats

Amazing pictures!







































The book these came from said some of the paint jobs cost $15,000 and had to be repeated every 3 months as the cat's hair grows out. Must be nice to have $60,000 a year just to keep your cat painted!
But I must say that I feel sorry for these cats.
